Cyber Surfer R/C Spaceboard

spaceboardHave you thought that the future is full of personal flying vehicles, jet packs or teleportation devices? Well, we keep on dreaming and until that dream is realized, all we can do is conceptualize, conceptualize, and just conceptualize. However, the future is already here for our toys since this remote controlled spaceboard is definitely cool!

Powered by two counter-rotating ducted fans that elevate it from the ground, leaving the ground wouldn’t be a problem at all. It is powerful enough to lift itself (of course) and the robot figure surfing in the air with it. Learning how to fly is definitely a breeze since all you have to do is to control the motion from left to right and up or down and you’ll be learning how to make those cool 360 turnarounds in no time. You don’t have to worry about making the thing crashing to the ground the minute you make it fly since there is a built-in solid state accelerometer that automatically stabilizes the spaceboard in its upright position. When in flight, the graceful movements and change of directions definitely make air surfing look way cooler than surfing in the beach.

Each package comes with a 120v AC adapter to charge the batteries. Each full charge will take about 50 minutes and will last for 10 minutes of continuous flight. It might be quite short but would be sufficient enough to make quick flights here and there. This can be a cool note messenger in your office if you don’t want to walk the thing yourself. Just put a post-it or clip a note and you’re set.

Feel Like Harry Potter with this Levitation Wand

levitation wandHarry Potter fever is on again! With the latest movie Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince raking in $29.5M in the box office and with an 89% movie review rating from rotten tomatoes, this juggernaut wouldn’t just stop. But while you and other fans are queuing up on the cinemas to catch the latest of the series, why not play around and amaze every muggle in the scene with this levitation wand.

The Van de Graaff Wand is the ultimate tool for you to cast that wingardium leviosa levitation spell on everything in your sight. Well maybe not all actually but at least these mylar shapes that look cool anyway. This levitation wand works by having a Van de Graaff generator that creates electrostatic charges around the wand making the included mylar 3d shapes to react with it allowing you to make it float, bend, twist, and fold at your command. It is just like the mini version of what you see in science museums that amused you when you were a kid.

Such a mystical looking device is powered by just 2xAA batteries that fit inside the wand’s body. Just pop in the batteries and with the press of a button you will be sending the 3d shapes flying at your command. The ultimate coolness factor here is that you could actually electrostatically charge your hand and control the shapes with your own hand! If that wouldn’t impress people, I don’t know what will!

This is the perfect gadget for the geekie Harry Potter fan. You could watch the video and order one as well at ThinkGeek.com
